Here's my newfound problem.

I want to install packages on a slow machine.  The packages have
dependancies.

For example, let's say I want to install windowmaker.  It'll install
fine - but it won't auto-install all the prerequisites, because it
assumes that, since it couldn't have built without them, they must be
installed.  I don't want to re-run the compiles, though.

Any ideas?  Is this a common enough problem to care about?
